Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. RDU Neil's Secret Worlds as been a game that he has a tough time finding images for. There are plenty of modern anime or modern super hero stuff or even modern horror... but he has a very fine line to walk with that particular game. And I tried to do an image that was sorta in the "secret worlds" motif. I played around with doing washes, then scanning and color digital on top of watercolor washes. I'm not quite happy with it.... but it was interesting to try. Here is my redux on Victrix:

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. to be honest, when I was looking over the visuals for the character, I was like "crap, another trenchcoat guy... how am I going to make him different than the others I've done." But it was the sunglasses and the haircut that really started the ball rolling. Since I didn't need to show the eyes, because of the glasses, I could do a more oblique angle to the skull, yet it would still retain some personality. Then it was a matter of saying "I'm a gun AND kung fu guy". Then the pose came out. Edsel did a good job of explaining the Matsuba to me... so then it was all down hill from there. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with Sweeper. It seemed to be very Dark Champions, but still someone new that I hadn't done before.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. No, I made up the folds in the cloth. I've worked hard at understanding folds, as it used to be this horrendous chore for me. Now I love it and I can't stop. His hair was described as "floppy" to me. So he isn't an elf... but if he serves as such for someone... cool.

Re: Herophile Fantasy art What a pleasure it is to do a commission that is happy and joyous. Usually I'm doing superheroes who are bad asses or fantasy characters who are badasses. The patron asked for him performing with a sense of joy, a character who never gets downbeat.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Hey Susano, your ninja waitress pic got stated up and interperted in Mutants and Mastermind thread. It's pretty funny. Towards the bottom of the page...have to scroll down a bit. http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?p=256107#256107

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. okay, another one from Susano... but is NOT a cat girl! One issue has been popping up a bit in some of my private e-mails. And since I think this is a pretty good way of dealing with online creations... My art that I post will be Creative Commons. Which is the short way of saying, y'all can use it as long as you don't try to make money off it.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Oops, time to erase those ears from midnight maid.... I just got done with the pencils. Should have final up tomorrow.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Susano sure has a thing for catgirls. Here is the first of two. He asked for someone who was "fairly attractive if she took the time." but is "usually in too foul of a mood to bother"

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Sorry on the name dismantling, guys, I was going off of my fastly scribbled pencil notes in my folder. good to know. Okay, this guy didn't get a title from ChadR. Or I had forgotten it (more likely). But he asked for a hydrokinetic, namor-like who dresses like a romance novel character, complete with open chest and "I'm so sexy" grin. ChadR did ask for buccaneer like boots, but I couldn't make them work with the water... it looked too clunky.... so I made him barefoot. I hope you can forgive me, Chad.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Folks, I know that several have been a'waitin' on their commissions. These three weeks have been a bit busy as I had weekend plans every weekend. Last weekend was my grandmother'ss 80th Bday bash in Dayton. This weekend is publicity for Actionopolis at the Motor City Con. Actionopolis is a young adult publisher. Not comics, but illustrated novels for 12 yr. old set. If you are at the con, stop on by. So. I've got some commissions penciled, as I've been on the road. But nothing is finished. I just found these three doodles from me sketching during an actual game. This is for a once a month pulp game (1928) that features us players journeying to a mysterious island that the previous expedition never came back from. We have Beatrice White, the entomologist (I think that is the right spelling). We have Dr. Jackson, archeologist and animal rights activist. Visual is very much based on a Dr. Jackson seen in some other show. And Malloy, the American mercenary who's recent adventures where in China. Robert Mitchum was the basis for Mallory. Which I drew a young R. Mitchum from memory, no reference, and I think did a credible job. My character, Percy Sullivan, son of a Colorado ranch baron has a picture, but I haven't tracked it down. So, here they are.
